The fish was pan seared to perfection, the rib eye was cooked excellent. The CAB sauce was very good and complimented the steak and fish very well. We got the sauce on the side. Service by Kristie was excellent. You need to find this place and come here. It off the main drag, but well worth it.

I went to the Fox Den restaurant with my wife and some neighborhood friends. I ordered the prime…read morerib and my wife the spinach artichoke chicken. The prime rib was old and cold. The fat was as white as paper. The meat cold to the touch. I asked the waitress to have it warmed. When it returned it looked much better and was the right temperature and appearance. However, it was terrible. The meat tasted old and had a tinny taste to it. My wife absolutely enjoyed her chicken dish and we enjoyed out meal with friends. When I paid the bill I let the waitress know that the prime rib didn't improve and was terrible. She apologized and gave a small discount on the bill. Unfortunately, this is the second bad prime rib I have gotten at the Fox Den. I am not picky and just want consistency in a restaurant. For over $30 you have a consistent product or don't offer that item. Since you advertise it as a restaurant specialty you should really stand behind the quality a little better. Maybe offer to replace it with a fresh cut. Overall, I am sure we will go there again, just not as often. PS I commented on one of their ads on Facebook and they deleted by comment without a response. Mistakes are made, own it and improve on it.

They were so filling that I almost ordered another round, but honestly, one order was more than enough. I even took two home in a doggy bag and ate them cold later without reheating or even dipping them in the sauce and they were still absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is amazing. There's a beautiful view, a patio, a rooftop, and TVs everywhere on the main floor, so you won't miss a second of the game. Whether you're there to catch sports, enjoy the scenery, or just have a great meal, they've got you covered. The service was friendly, fast, and the restaurant was clean. The staff works hard, so don't forget to tip! Everyone was so welcoming, and the food was delicious at a great price. I seen a Mac n cheese bowl topped with brisket omg sooooo good Pro tip: Check them out on Taco Tuesday! And one thing I really loved it's kid-friendly! I saw families with kids enjoying themselves while others were watching the game and friends were high-fiving over a beer. It truly has that welcoming, family atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I'll definitely be visiting again!
